Today, I was walking through town with my hood up and noticed people giving me funny looks. It wasn't until I got home that I realised the umbrella I was holding over my head had been closed the whole time. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, at the supermarket everybody was staring at me. After ten minutes, I realized that my umbrella was still open. FML
Today, my hair got stuck in my umbrella. I asked for help from passers-by, but all I got was weird looks as they hurried past me. FML
Today, I went for a walk. When it started pouring, I ran under the nearest tree for protection. It didn't occur to me that it might look suspicious hiding under a stranger's tree in a black hoodie, until the cops showed up. FML
Today, I was hurrying for the bus home from work. It was raining and I had my umbrella up. As I hurried by two women, I felt my umbrella hit one of them on the head. I turned to apologise and saw her standing with her hands on her newly bald head. My umbrella had lifted her wig off her head. FML
Today, someone stole my umbrella. It was pouring heavily, and I was using it at the time. FML
Today, I took my dog out for his walk, only to find out that I had an extra bra hanging vertically out of my pants. Thankfully, the only person who saw me was the maintenance guy, who looked very confused, so I just smiled at him. I had no idea why, I only realized when the wind blew it against my leg and I saw my shadow. FML
Today, hoping to avoid the rain because I had just gotten an expensive perm, I ducked under an awning. At that moment, the store manager shook the awning, and about 6 hours of rain dumped on my head. FML
Today, a guy lost control of his umbrella in the wind, which then hit me in the eye, making me bleed. He screamed at me for trying to steal his umbrella. People laughed. FML
Today, I tried to take off my hoodie. Somehow my shirt came off with it, leaving me shirtless in public, as I sheepishly tried to put it back on. Not only were people staring, but there was a mother covering her son's eyes. FML
Today, I was getting dressed in my bedroom with the blinds open and had nothing covering my top half. I thought my neighbours wouldn't be able to see in through all the trees, that was until I heard someone wolf whistle and one of my neighbours running away. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How did you not notice that your umbrella wasn't open? Isn't that something you would open right away when it's raining?

Depends on the wind and how hard the rain is falling. If there's no wind and the wind is falling straight down, umbrellas are helpful. If the rain is coming at a slant and it's windy, umbrellas are nearly useless.

Oops-- I meant if the rain is falling straight down. It would be quite a trick for the wind to fall straight down :)

I'm guessing 1. weed is legal there 2. you were ripped.

It says they are from the UK, so no, weed is not legal. They might have been but not legally!

Why is everybody looking at me funny? And why am I getting wet?

That is so funny :-) I am sure someone would have taken a photo and published it somewhere :-)

Couple of things, the rain could still blow in your face with a hood. If the hood is not made well, or made of cloth, it'll absorb the moisture. Then again this did happen in the UK, OP. I'm not sure if you haven't realised, but wearing a hood in England is the same as wearing a Hijab in the states. Most people think nothing of it, but some are scared shitless. Disagree? The current Prime Minister, to reduce crime, in an upper class private boarding schooled fashion, suggested that we all go out, find a hooded person and give them a hug. Wearing a hood in England means you're trying to hide yourself from the thousands of cameras per street corner, which are almost never used, which means you must have something to hide! "Hug a hoodie", Google that incase anyone thinks I'm being overly cynical.

you actually took the time to write that

Yeah, it takes a variable set amount of time to write things.

If some random stranger came up to me and just hugged me out of the blue, I'd think they're either some kind of pervert or they're attempting to pick my pocket in the friendliest manner possible. I'd probably be more inclined towards violence to get said rogue hugger off of me. Seems a bit.. counterproductive to reducing crime.

Imagine, what all the people in here dissecting a meaningless mishap could do, if they werent to socially akward to look up from their phones.
